Runners' RITES OF PASSAGE


When do you become a full-fledged Runner?
 

WHEN YOU...

- run in the rain
- run in the rain smiling
- run under the scorching heat of the sun
- wake up at 3AM to run
- are out of breath after running one interval and then run again
- travel to other cities just to run
- add "TO RUN THE BOSTON MARATHON" to your bucket list
- think sweaty running people are sexy
- still run even when your legs hurt from running
- bring running shoes during your vacation
- have more running shoes than casual shoes
- talk and think about running every minute of the day
- convince every person you meet to start running
- start wearing split shorts for running
- buy running gear every time you shop in the mall
- run even when stray dogs are chasing you
- run at night when people are already asleep
- wear running shorts to a party
- think tights are cool for both men and women
